Many Hands Make Light Work

Hundreds have helped us keep Bay Weekly in your hands these 958 issues

By Sandra Olivetti Martin

Nine-hundred fifty-eight issues in 19 years would be heavy lifting, were it not for all the people who’ve carried part of the load of Bay Weekly since our birth as New Bay Times on Earth Day, April 22, 1993.
Each year at this time, I page back through our 19 leather-bound volume books. Each one of them making heavy lifting — not only for all the newsprint pressed in them, nor for all the words typed on that yellowing paper. The memories are heavier still, revived with each name I read, until I am carrying so many that I cannot hold them alone.
So I put them down here — as many as this page can manage and knowing I will miss so many.
